The Silmarillion explores the early history of the fictional universe Eä and its lands, including Valinor, Beleriand, Númenor, and Middle-earth. Divided into five distinct sections, it provides extensive lore, detailed historical accounts of the First Age, and summaries of Third Age stories familiar to fans, such as those in The Lord of the Rings.

The Lord of the Rings franchise has expanded into various media, including Monolith's Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor video game, Magic: The Gathering crossover cards, and Prime Video's live-action series, The Rings of Power. In IGN's review of The Rings of Power season 2, we noted that "while the season excels at depicting Sauron's schemes and their impact on those he manipulates, it spends too much time on disconnected subplots with limited intrigue and underdeveloped characters."
